What brakes do I have?
Here is a pic of my brakes. The calipers say Mazdaspeed. I'm not sure what replacement pads to put on them. Is this the factory setup? I was told by the previous owner that he spent $2000 upgrading the brakes. Any ideas? It seems that some people put decals on their calipers, but the logo on mine is cast into the caliper. Must be a factory upgrade?

What exactly did i say to make you respond that way? Were not talking about the housing market here. All i'm saying is, if you really have to sell it quickly, you will have to use desperate measures to make a sale, that's all i'm saying...

Claiming that the OEM calipers painted blue + random slotted & drilled rotors are a $2000 upgrade is not an honest selling technique (unless the seller was such a putz that he paid $2000 for the rotors/paint, though not likely).
This would be an example of a $2000 brake upgrade
^all IMO, of course^ Sorry for off topic everyone

Well, I probably paid too much for the car. I justified the price based on the upgrades. But, it doesn't change how I feel about the car. It is in perfect shape. If you look under the hood, It looks brand new, so the car was very well taken care of. I love the car, just bummed that I was lied to. Thanks for straightening me out.
